You may like at least some kind of music. But the problem is that, in lots of places, you're made {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(hear) somebody else's choice of music. Say you've just landed at an airport, where the background (背景) music may be played loudly. When you are {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the way to you hotel, there may be another kind of music {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (switch) on by the taxi driver. Then you go out to dinner and end up in a restaurant,{#blank#}4{#/blank#}owner thinks music will help make you eat more and spend more. Then a person {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(play) the violin comes around. This is called the “music wallpaper” and its purpose is to make you consume more. In a word, you find {#blank#}6{#/blank#} hard to find a quiet public place without music.

    Noise pollution may be {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(harm) to our hearing. It's also bad for some of our daily {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (activity).

    The fact {#blank#}9{#/blank#} you can't see, taste or smell noise may help explain why it has not received as much attention as other kinds of pollution, such as air pollution or water pollution. Many of us fail to realize we {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (surround) by too much noise. As a result, harm is done to our health without us being aware of it.

    A rainforest is an area{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(cover) by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year. Rainforests have a great effect{#blank#}2{#/blank#}the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. Without the forest cover, these areas would reflect {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(much) heat into the atmosphere, warming the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns, potentially{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(cause) certain natural disasters all over the world.

    In the past hundred years,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (human) have begun destroying rainforests in search of the three major resources: land for crops, wood for paper and other products, land for raising farm animals,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}affects the environment as a whole. For example, a lot of carbon dioxide in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People   {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(obvious) have a need for the resources from cutting trees {#blank#}8{#/blank#}we will suffer much more than we will benefit.

    Rainforests are often called the world's drug store. More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However, fewer than 1% of rainforest plants have been examined for their{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (medicine) value. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(lie)somewhere in the world's shrinking rainforests.

    Chengdu has dozens of now millionaires, Asia's biggest building, and fancy new hotels. But for tourists like me, pandas are its top{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(attract).

    So it was a great honor to be invited backstage at the not-for -profit Panda Base, where ticket money helps pay for research, I {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(allow) to get up close to these cute animals at the 600-acre centre. From tomorrow, I will be their UK ambassador. The title will be{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(official)given to me at a ceremony in London. But my connection with pandas goes back {#blank#}4{#/blank#} my days on a TV show in the mid-1980s,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} I was the first Western TV reporter{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(permit) to film a special unit caring for pandas rescued from starvation in the wild. My ambassadorial duties will include {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (introduce) British visitors to the 120-plus pandas at Chengdu and others at a research center in the misty mountains of Bifengxia.

    On my recent vigil, I held a lively three-month-old twin that had been rejected by {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(it) mother. The nursery team switches him every few{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(day) with his sister so that while one is being bottle-fed,{#blank#}10{#/blank#} other is with mum-she never suspects.

    Many years ago, everyone {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(eat) all kinds of food, especially fruit, vegetables and fish. At the same they took {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(day) exercise. They were very healthy. All of that made a dark witch{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(anger). So she invented a potion which could let people like to eat unhealthy food.

    One day, a little boy found the bottle with the potion.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(think) that it was some kind of drink, he drank it. A few days later, a strange feeling in his body let the boy lose his appetite{#blank#}5{#/blank#}vegetables, fruit and fish. All he wanted to do was to eat ice cream, pizza, burgers and candy. And because of another strange feeling all over his body, the boy didn't enjoy exercising,  {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. The boy gave up eatinghealthy food and{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (do) exercise at once. Soon his life got more and more boring. He started feeling ill. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}was important to him except sleeping at home. The boy had a disease, the disease of wasting his life. And the worst thing of all was that the disease was infectious. Luckily, Doctor Healthy discovered if a person lived a healthy and happy life, the potion would be{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(use) in a short time. So{#blank#}10{#/blank#}could the waste-of-life disease be cured? The best remedy was not medicine, but just an effort to eat some fruit, vegetables and fish and to do some exercise.

    Last Monday, some Australian students came to our school for a visit. They {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(show) to visit various optional courses. One of our teachers taught them something about calligraphy. As a volunteer, I explained {#blank#}2{#/blank#} English when necessary. They were impressed by the amazing Chinese art, and some of them even tried writing some characters successfully. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (remember) the enjoyable moment, we took photos together and this was really a memorable and rewarding event.

    It is reported that next year, Singapore will treat sugary drinks in the way that other countries treat cigarettes — no advertisements. The plan aims {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (reduce) the high rate of sugar which may cause diabetes (糖尿病)and heart diseases. Thanks to its economic {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. (develop) and income growth, Asians have access to more and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (good) food than ever. However, Asian eaters, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} have become richer, gradually begin to change their traditional diets to the food rich in fat and sugar. As {#blank#}5{#/blank#}result, extra calories make them heavier. The effects of {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (eat) unhealthily are serious. In the past twenty years, countries in the region {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (see) the world's largest increases in premature deaths because {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the diseases related to sugar. Faced with {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (it) serious situation, Singapore^'s plan is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (certain) reasonable.
